Rising Posture: How to Collect Ancient Coins
A look at the historical value
Rare ancient coins are the physical objects of monetary history, but also the witness of history. Therefore, it is necessary to clarify its place in history before collecting. For example, the "Chengdu Jiaozi" and the "Ten Texts of the Tongyuan BaoJiao" are the earliest banknotes discovered on the mainland so far and are regarded as priceless treasures by the academic circles; the "Guangping Silver Coin" in Jilin is considered to be the first mechanism coin on the mainland; and the "Cheng'an Treasure Goods" unearthed in Acheng County, Heilongjiang in August 1985 are rare products of the mainland's "one or two halves counted silver coins." The coinage of short-lived dynasties or peasant uprisings, due to the short circulation time and small circulation, is mostly a rare treasure.
Second, look at the number of extant ones
The sword coins of Qi, Yan, Zhao and other countries, and the cloth coins of Han, Wei, Qin and other countries are old, rarer than round money, and expensive. The small number of coins that survived was also the "Deyi Yuanbao" minted by the Tang Dynasty rebel Shi Siming after occupying Luoyang, and after finding that the word "Deyi" was unlucky, it was changed to "Shuntian" and minted "Shuntian Tongbao". These two coins have been passed down very rarely, and the "one-dollar treasure" is particularly rare and is a rare treasure.
Three looks at cultural values
Some categories that are not too few are favored mainly because of their cultural taste and high artistic value. For example, coins such as "Cargo Spring" and "Buquan" during the new dynasty of Wang Mang of the Han Dynasty used vertical needle seals; the nine-fold seal script "Quan Body Tongbao" cast by Emperor Renzong of the Northern Song Dynasty was the earliest Chinese art character and was a collection treasure.
Four looks at the appearance
Regardless of whether the coin is rare or not, where there is a blurred surface, a defective outline, serious rust, and a poor appearance, try not to collect it. When collecting ancient coins, we should also pay attention to whether there are moon patterns, star patterns and other marks, and the identification of ancient coins is based on the back text to distinguish the minting age and address, and evaluate its rarity. Generally speaking, those with moon and star marks on the back of coins are more collectible than those on the back. Among the coins worth collecting, the court coins refined with gold, silver, white copper and other fines are precious cultural relics with small minting and good quality.
The quality of ancient coins. The collection investment value and increase of ancient coins are closely related to the quality, and if there is a difference in the quality of the same ancient coin, the price difference is often as high as ten times or even tens or hundreds of times, which shows the importance of its appearance. From the above analysis, it can be seen that the collection of ancient coins is not a simple science, and collectors need to polish their eyes, recognize the cultural value and survival of ancient coins, and find a good starting point for investing in ancient coins, so that they can obtain greater returns when investing in ancient coins.
The historical value of ancient coins
In the collection market, historical value is an important factor in determining the price. Generally speaking, the older the coin minted, the higher its collectible value.
For example, the three-character sword coin of the State of Qi during the Warring States period has reached tens of thousands of yuan. The "three-hole cloth" of the same era is priced at more than 100,000 yuan, and there is no price. However, the older the better. Han Dynasty "five baht" money has a history of more than two thousand years, due to its large circulation, long circulation time, up to 730 years, the current number of existing is still more, often excavated in batches throughout the country, even beginner collectors are easy to collect, the price is only about 10 yuan. The same is "five baht" money, a refined extra-small "five baht" the size of a chicken's eye, but it is not easy to collect. At present, the market price has exceeded 50 yuan.
The surviving number of ancient coins
Not necessarily the age of ancient coins is good, and the amount of surviving coins is also a determinant of the price of ancient coins. The Qing Dynasty "Qianlong Tongbao" is an ancient coin with a very large number of surviving coins, the market price is only a few yuan a piece, however, the price of a Qianlong sample is above a few hundred yuan, and a large coin for opening the furnace is a rare rare item for collectors. "Imperial Song Tongbao" is an extremely common kind of Song money, but the number of "Nine Stacked Seals" in existence is very small, with high collection and investment value. The ancient coins of Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong and the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom at the end of the Qing Dynasty were of higher value because of their short circulation time, regional limitations, and small circulation.
